NATIONAL DISH OF TUNISIA
COUS COUS



Tunisian Couscous
3-4 servings 
Ingredients
2 cups  uncooked  couscous 
2 tablespoons   olive oil 
1 large   onion, cubed
1 large  green pepper, cubed
1 large   zucchini, cubed
2 potatoes 
2 carrots 
14 ounces   chickpeas  
4 tablespoons   tomato paste 
1 tablespoon  chili paste or   harissa 
1/2 tablespoon   paprika 
1/2 tablespoon   cinnamon 
1/2 tablespoon   cumin 
1 teaspoon  salt and pepper

Method 
1) Saute onion and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
2) Add tomato paste, chickpeas, and 1 cup of water, and allow to boil for 15 minutes.
3) Cut vegetables, place them into pot, add 4 1/4 cup of water, and bring to a boil. Allow
to cook for 30-45 minutes, or until veggies are cooked.
4) To prepare couscous, place it into a collander or sifter, replacing about 1 cup water
with tomato sauce. (NOTE: I used couscous that only needed to sit in hot water for 5
minutes to cook. When doing so, I used 1 cup water and 1 cup of the sauce).
5) Place couscous in a large bowl, pour some of the sauce over it, and arrange vegetables
on top.
